 | Benomyl Information |
On April 18, 2001, Dupont formally requested voluntary cancellation of all of their benomyl technical, end use, and special local need product registrations. The next step under FIFRA will be for EPA to publish a Section 6(f) Federal Register notice announcing our receipt of the request for voluntary cancellation, and inviting public comment for 30 days.
This is a world wide phaseout. The expectation is that the effective cancellation date will be December 31, 2001 (this year): "No sales will occur after December 31, 2001, and we expect all product will clear the channels of trade by the end of 2002."
For more information:
Benomyl - Sale of existing stocks in the channels of trade may continue until December 31, 2002. DuPont may take up unsold product after that date. The EPA believes that use will end by december 31, 2003. DuPont may take up (unused?) product from end users after that date.
